Suspected Terrorist Admits Weapons Buy

ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO (AP) - A man accused of purchasing weapons for al-Qaida confessed that he bought the firearms for use against U.S. forces in Afghanistan, according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

In an affidavit submitted to the Superior Court of Justice, Abdullah Khadr admitted having ties to senior al-Qaida members, purchasing guns and rocket launchers, and participating in a plot to assassinate a Pakistani government official, said Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Konrad Shourie.

His lawyer, Dennis Edney, accused the U.S. of participating in the "abuse of Mr. Khadr for the past 18 months in a Pakistani prison."
